Well, you expect your hate to create for you a few comrades, but it’ll only make for more hillbillies named Conrad.

Yes, but Americans hating their government is exactly what got us here.

Doubling down on that sentiment is only going to make things worse.

You understand that, right?

Back in the day, Walmart and Apple fought over contactless pay standards for the US.

Apple’s standard was eventually mass adopted, and since then Walmart has refused to license the tech. So you have to use their app, which uses their own tech stack.

Perfectly rigid sticks don’t exist.

That’s fine. 1% per uberweird news cycle is the death of facebook.

Zuck invented the feed.

I’d like to see one of these publications post recipes for CEO stew.

End-to-end encryption matters if your device isn’t actively trying to sabotage your privacy.

If you run Android, Google is guilty of that.

If you run Windows in a non-enterprise environment Microsoft is guilty of that.

If you run iOS or MacOS, Apple is (very likely) guilty of that.

FAT chain traversal sounds like a diet plan. 😅

Boomers are not a collective hivemind, generations are divisions the rich use to dominate the working class.

The feetdraggers will slowly, begrudgingly follow–as always.

I don’t understand why everyone assumes using a VPN means paying for a third party.

It’s because that is what is advertised to them.

Also, push notifications. Most things could be done from a browser, but corpos have to have their push notifications.

It doesn’t matter if you’re the guy who turns every notification off and manages all those… 9/10 people won’t.

Uniqueness is not a thing people generally desire.

We still have monuments donated by Fascist Italy standing in Chicago.

3-5 business days is the time it takes your bank to return your money to you, per your cardholder agreement.

Why isn’t anyone even trying to guillotine our billionare megalomaniacs? 🤔

A fountain pen is just a controlled leak

The consumer facing names for those transmission specs are and have always been:

• SuperSpeed 10 Gbps

• SuperSpeed 20 Gbps

Unless you’re designing your own circuits you don’t need to worry about signaling rates (ie “Gen”) or lane configuration (Z×Y).

Well if there’s anything I expect from the new-cycle masses, it’s rationality.

Heaven forbid, we try and do better!

I guess I should just read the whitepapers of every standard going forward, silly me.

You don’t have to read whitepapers to know the difference between Ethernet, CAT6 and RJ45 even if your grandpa doesn’t know the difference.

It’s not too much to expct the “nerds” to know the real names of PAN connections, too.
